Buy recommendations Makasi, Carmel, Both, or Neither?

Both non-restricted 5.56 short-stroke gas piston semiauto accepting Stanag mags. Both taking orders with similar delivery dates. What is your choice and your reasons?

Edit: So to summarize what y'all are saying: - Makasi for AR aesthetics and compatibility, - Carmel for reliability, - Both if you hate money, - Neither because of potential bans.

Im a neither guy . I know I’ll get dogged for saying this but until things are a little more stable I don’t have an extra 5K to gamble on two more possible safe queens . If they don’t ban these, awesome I can pick up the one with better reviews in a year .

Yes I absolutely agree with you . It will never be “enough” for them . The good news is it seems that tide of public support for the gun confiscation program is at an all time low and the recent shootings in Sarina and the GTA have highlighted how many crime guns come from the states not legal hun owners. I think things will get so bad economically in this country that we will not have the stomach to spend even more on guy back backs and public safety measures that are just virtue signalling.
